The Spiritual Media Blog features guest posts, reviews, interviews, and articles about spirituality, psychology, and inspirational entertainment. The founder, Dr. Matthew Walsh, created this site to be a source of inspirational content, media and entertainment.
In my e-interview with the Spiritual Media Blog, I discuss the unique grief of losing a baby and the strain it puts on a relationship. I also discuss the serendipity that led me to write my memoir, From the Lake House.
An excerpt of the interview is below, and the full interview can be found here.
What is the grief of losing a child like?
A parent who’s lost a baby also has to endure a solitary grief. While friends and extended family can be a tremendous support, they likely had only a brief—if any— chance to form their own connection with the baby. The mourning felt by friends and family is mostly on behalf of the parents, not due to their unique, personal bond with the child. Bereft parents are often left to carry the remembrance of their child’s brief existence on their own.
